E. Padgett but it doesn't look like the work of a professional artist.

I was just wondering if anyone had heard of that artist. I found it in a 120 yr old run down farm house that is on a friends property.

 

Ah, that's helpful information. And what is the medium? Oil on board? And what is the size? It does appear to be folk art. Did the farm grow gourds, once upon a time? What state was it found in?

Yes ma'am its oil on some sort of thin wood. Im not sure if they had gourds but they definitely used to grow all sorts of stuff. It came from an old place in Paulding county Georgia.

 

Raccoon?

First initial looks like "E" to me. But, if it isn't, here'a a possibility: Lov Padgett.

Im pretty sure it is an E but i will look into that name. I measured it last night and its 8 1/2 x 12. Thank you for responding ma'am

 

You can ask Lov's son if it's her work. But agree first initial appears to be an "E."
